Shame on you 'hooligan, those pretty little flowers come to cheer you up and you drop a dime on them. :blush:

Good to see you!

{snork!}

Just had to put in his ten cents' worth...:p:

Hibiscus, of some sort, maybe?

Pic taken from like 15 feet, waiting on a red light.

yes hibiscus

RoseOfSharon, I'd say.

I'm leaning toward Rose...

https://garden.org/plants/browse/plants/children/76969/

Looks to me like all the "Roses of Sharon" are hibiscuses.

The buzz is they bee posies for sure. ;)

Are those expandable gates? Welcome to the cellar.

Yes, but not all hibiscus are RoS. Kinda like squares and rectangles.
So we're *both* right! ;)

Gates? Where do ya see gates, I don't see no gates?

Ginormous pics.

Link in first post.

Thanks for that. I missed it.

Shit.

Now I'm a snitch.

But they are very nice gates.

A Little Help?
 

Is this a rose? And if it isn't, what is it? Please/Thank You.

And just for fun, a full frame crop:

Not to brag, or nuthin', but, I , uh, earned that flower. My bartendress gave it to me.:cool:

She doesn't know what it is, she stole it.

peony?

In the park next to the Sacramento capitol building.

You name your pics funny.

What is that pretty little flower, anyway?

I let my camera name them... No idea what it is.

How do you ever find anything?

Hey remember the pic of that flower from the thing back in 2013?

You mean 46405942354_bbd3e3d1e0_z? Yeah I remember that.




I've never encountered a camera with a file naming scheme such as that one. Can't figure it out. Usually they're pretty easy to suss out, but, my eyes cross when I look at that one.

Its name on Flickr (click the image to go to the page and see it bigger) is 20190216_131448, which is the date and time it was shot. The 46405942354_bbd3e3d1e0_z.jpg filename is the one for the particular 640x480 image that Flickr makes for you for linking and downloading.


I used to be fairly meticuous about tagging and annotating images, but I'm lazy about that now.

I believe that is a flowering maple.

Thank you.

A parade of chickens with little square glasses...

Clever! And now permanently stuck in my head.

It's like the thing about ducks wearing dog masks. Can't not see it anymore. :p:

Wait til they break down your door. :eek:

It's a humble flower, but a lovely nonetheless.

Nothing humble about it, all flowers are works of art.

well. notSoMuch.
Art is created by man.

Often a Picasso or a Garfunkel.

You're right, I sit corrected. :haha:

Do you guys name your plants?

We do. Allow me to introduce this year's hangers....

This is Abraham, Abe for short. What is that, Velvet?

He's beautiful and velvety. Black petunia.

And Estelle. She got the old lady fro Goin on

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb7e852e93.jpg

All of the girls are similar to the petunia, but the name starts with a C.... Can never remember it..

Florence, or Flo...

And last is Merka. Short for Americus. Because of the red white and 'blue'. And her proximity to our flag.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00c24ef547.jpg

She's very patriotic.

Amanda is planning to do the Vincas along the front walk today. We also got some lavender and Spike grass and Gerber daisies... And Batchelor buttons and some impatiens.... And a couple random flowers for the box and beds.

This has been a nice spring so far.

...but you were absolutely correct about not being humble. Dandelions are probably the most audacious of all flowers. One of the 1st to flower in the spring, they stand proudly where practically nothing else can grow and proclaim "Here I am!"

I've posted this before but am too lazy to find and link to it. I find it hilarious.

This is Tim, he lives in the woods.

So (a needle pulling thread), I see no one is naming their flowers Gennifer.

The C word flowers

And not impatiens, verbena.

You see this right here? They claim they are dressing up the steps/entrance to the home.
That's a lie, it's actually a plot to make zombies and geriatrics fall down the steps because they can't reach the railing.
Very crafty plot, but not fooling me for a moment. :headshake

You've said that before, and I actually think of you when I look at them. Just make sure I know you're coming, ifyou drop by again, and I'll get them out of your way.

What? Warn you? That's no fun. :lol2:

Heh, warn him from the curb.

Tell his prone broken body crumpled at the bottom of the stairs by shouting into his recently de-hearing aided ear that he *had* been warned, but he forgot just like his alzheimer's medicine.

:D

Jesus. Settle down.

Jim, I apologize for sparking this dank dark drift. :o

Not your fault sir. These boys get excitable is all. Might just be a couple steps ahead of me with reference to some other conversation they had elsewhere.
